Town and Paper.

san Jose (Cal,) Times.
The sixteen page edition of the Fort
Worth, Tex, Daily GAZETTE is on our
table. It contains one map showing the
railroad connections of that city, and an
other of the city itself and such other 10
cal information and statistics as are usu-
ally found in special editions. Both the
special and regular edition of the GAZETTE
distinctly Indicate the very liberal support
Fort Worth gives TO its newspapers, which
support again accounts in great for the
rapid progress Of the place, which had
no existence until lS49, when it was Sc
lected as q military post on account of
the abundance of available srtesian wa
ter. The first railroad did not reach
there, however, until July Is, 1876, when
its assessment was only S250,000; now
it is S6,000,0 00-only half that of San
Jose; but it appears to spend from two
to five times as much on its papers as
San Jose does, and for that reason alone
it is bound to overtske San Jose in
wealth and population within ten years
and perhaps in much less time.

RUsK, TEX, June 4.-Some time since

for prohibition is the biggest hop of the age

Will you please cite US to the issue of

THE people on the train who cheered
the Benbrook robbers acted very fool
ishly. Every thief in the land will be
encouraged to believe that as long as pas
sengers are unmolested, train robbing
will be regarded as an act of heroism, to
be. condoned and applauded.

Gas USUAL in competitive drills"
grunts the Brooklyn Times, "the best
prizes in the Washington competition
went to southern troops" Eastern pa
pers will learn, sooner or later, that when
it comes to a question of superiority in
anything the Southerners usually come
out triumphant. They seem to be built
that way.

In very few days common mutton and
southdown will no longer be the cri-
terion of social standing in Dallas. 1t
will not be a difference in dress, or in
fine equipage or in fine houses. When
the Dallas man wants to lord it over his
less fortunate fellow, he will simply put
his can on Governor Browns jerk water
train and supply himself with Fort Worth
artesian water.

During the sitting of the Texas Press As

THE Gainesville Register sees where
the change comes in when it says: "Fort
Worth seems to be excluded from the
scheme of the Dallas News for an even
and symmetrical development" The
North Texas soil and climate are suited
best to "shriveled localism in journal
ism" The change had to come, dear
Register; it was change or die.

Cholera in Japan.

Some history of cholera in Japan has recently been published by the Director of the Sanitary Bureau for the Elm pire. According to this authority cholera is known to have appeared in Japan in 1922, commencing at Naga- saki, the only port then open to foreign commerce; and at the same time the disease is known to have prevailed in China. Another epidemic took place in 1858, but no statistical information is available as to either of these out breaks. But since the empire has been freely open to foreign vessels cholera has been much more frequent. It entered in 1876, and in 1877 it caused 7,967 deaths. The next epidemic was in 1879, when 105, ,786 fatal attacks were recorded, After this there was cessa- tion until 1885, during the course of which 7,152 deaths occurred, and the disease has extended into the present year. Cholera is admitted to be, in Japan as elsewhere, generally associat- ed with the prevalence of local filth, and great efforts are being made by the Sanitary Bureau to effect improvements in this respect.-M. !.
